Bruce Springsteen brings 'Streets of Minneapolis' home as he launches US tour with 'War'

Bruce Springsteen was in a defiant but upbeat mood in Minneapolis as he launched his latest U.S. tour. Springsteen denounced the Trump administration Tuesday for sending federal officers into the city over the winter. And he delivered a not-so-veiled salvo against the war in Iran as he opened with a thunderous version of the song, “War.” Thousands of audience members held lit-up phones as Springsteen played his tribute to the city, “Streets of Minneapolis.” His tour ends May 27 in Washington, D.C., where he says he’ll have a few choice words for the White House.
